The Refit

Let the mammoth project begin - It became clear to us right in the beginning that the right way to tackle this project was to start right back in the beginning. It was going to be the only way to do the job properly and so we began...The first goal was to rebuild the entire aft section of the interior and make it 'liveable' so we can move aboard. We then shifted our focus to building our master cabin before we started work on the outside repainting her topsides, making modifications on the deck including a new forward cockpit and hardtop. Currently we are working on the keel, making modifications to reduce her draft. Once we have done that we will be moving back inside to finish the forward section. Our job list is long and we are expecting to cross off the last items on the water! Due to the extent of this project we have chosen to follow functional and cost-effective but structurally sound boatbuilding techniques and finishes with low-maintenance in mind. There are a significant number of photos in the slideshow starting right in the beginning of the project. For a quick look at our current project head on over to our blog or Facebook page...
